The Dwarves are a seafaring folk. Following the destruction of their old city Nauko, they constructed a vast ship called Naukos. This floating city was a powerful fortress, but now is is gone. It was sunk following a failed robbery attempt by a Hopeslayer called 'Black' Jack Davey, and overwhelmed by the Soulless.

Those Dwarves that survived have settled back into the northern parts of Sinya Palurin, Gweria and Varya. They have set up fishing villages and ports all along the coast, but some have moved deeper into the Human lands. Some Dwarves have integrated to the extent they are considered honorary Larkants. A large portion of the Dwarf population have dedicated their lives to salvaging the Naukos, and have been building a series of large-scale warships to defend the seas. Defending the seas has been more and more of a requirement over the past few years as raiding parties arrive from the Frozen North.

There is another group who have settle in the north of Sinya Palurin, around the ruins of the village of Little Piddling and its surrounding marshland. Most of them are (or were?) Dwarves, although humans do count among them. They call themselves 'Finfolk', or 'the Chosen of Lavelas'. While not technically undead in the conventional manner, they appear to be the reanimated bodies of those lost in the Naukos. The Finfolk keep to themselves, but those that have been spoken to claim they were resurrected by Lavelas to bring the Ocean into the Land. Their leader is called 'Tritan', and although rarely seen, it is claimed he is neither human nor dwarf. Some Finfolk claim him to be the walking presence of Lavelas.
